>>>Roland Schwaenzl said: > What kind of retrieval action specifically is assumed in RDF Concepts 5.2 > (compare the NOTE in [RFC 3023, 7.]). RDF (and concepts) has no retrieval action in the current round of specifications - it is defining a language, with no processing model. We have noted appendix C.2 of RDF M&S after you pointed it out: [[An RDF processor can expect to use the schema URI to access the schema content]] -- http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-rdf-syntax-19990222/ which does somewhat refer to retrieval but only obliquely. It does not require that the access to the schema content is found by retrieval. As far as I udnerstand, what URIs or URI namespaces resolve too is not part of RDF. > My understanding of RDF Semantics is, that it does not require > the existence of an RDF/XML document representing the URI, presumed > in your first reference, when a URI#fragement is used in an RDF > graph. URI-refs in RDF do not require documents to exist (bits to be returned when the URIs are resolved). URI-refs in general do not require this either. Dave
